CAN I RECORDED VHS TO DISC
8261
No I don't believe that you can do that with this. I think you can record VHS but it does not burn discs. Just a blueray/dvd player. If you want to burn VHS to disc I suggest you check with Walmart. I was in their store; they had a VHS to DVD recorder/player for under $200. I have not found many machines besided this Panasonic that play all 3 formats VHS/DVD/Blueray disc. I have also had compatability issues with some dvd's (real dvd's not bootlegs}.

This unit has no recording capabilities whatsoever, it only plays VHS tapes, DVD's and Blu-ray discs.

Yes, this device allows copying from a VHS tape to your computer and then to a DVD.It's a 3 or 4 step process, but it does work!

You can record if you receive your TV signal from an antenna and you can record on a VHS from the DVD player.

Yes you can. Format, depends on what you use and save after you edit. I use Roxio and save as WMV. I also burn to DVD and play on a 50" plasma. Video is better than our old VHS-C and close to MiniDV.

Any camera can do the recording. The DVD question is only dependent on the computer you use to transfer the video file to disc, as long as you have the software you're good to go.

You can record with either the vcr or the dvd mode and you can record your vcr tapes onto dvd discs.. For months, I was using it for only vcr recording, and then decided to catch up with the times and bought some dvd-rw dics. I love the dvd recording now that I'm using it. The only down side, that I see is that you have to re-format the dvd discs before recording again and it takes a while to initialize when you insert the disc in the machine.

Yes, I've used it to copy from a vcr. You probably can't copy copyright protected tapes though. The software with the unit should work to make a dvd disc.

As far as the quality of the product - yes. They are good quality and should record on any dvd recorder that has the capacity to record. If you are trying to transfer from VHS to DVD that is a technology problem. I recorded family movies from VHS to DVD but needed a special set up and recorder to do this. Trying to copy commercial VHS to DVD is much more difficult.

Only if the DVD is not copywriter protected. DVDs that have been burned via computer can be copied onto VHS tapes.

You would be better off getting a device specifically for this purpose, or you can send your tapes to a service that will convert them for you.All the big chains have devices to convert VHS to digital for anywhere from $30 to $100 ..

No, it can only be done with an external tuner, after many internet searches by me and two stores that sell this I find no such tuners. I returned mine to the seller for a refund. What you have is a VHS/DVD player only, not a Recorder.

I assume you want to record from the VHS side to the DVD side of your combo, then no you cannot use it. If, however, you are using a different machine to play a video and are using the combo only to record on, then yes, you can use it.

Yes, that is how I'm using it. Obviously, when you dub vhs to dvd, it is of no use, as the copying doesn't go through the jacks, rather it is done internally. But, you can record to the DVD from a protected source and it works fine.

All modes are available on both. I copy VHS tapes to HDD and from there to DVD after editing on the HDD. I always record to HDD in the same mode I plan to use on the DVD. The DVD burn goes faster without having to convert modes.

if you hook the VCR to the DVD recorder with the yellow/red/white connectors, yes theoretically you could record a VHS tape to DVD this way. sometimes though the VCR has encryption protection, so unless you have a pretty old VCR, it may or may not work.
